A new, comprehensive Eisenhower Schnitzer/Novack Breast Center is now open at 151 South Sunrise Way in Palm Springs as part of Eisenhower Health Center. Located at the corner of Taqhuitz Canyon Way and Sunrise Way, Eisenhower Health Center features Eisenhower Primary Care 365, Eisenhower Labtechniques, Eisenhower Urgent Care, and Eisenhower Imaging Center, in addition to the new breast center.

“With advances in the treatment of breast cancer, the best chance for survival remains early detection, and the key to early detection is regular mammograms,” says Kim Von Haden, RN,Manager, Eisenhower Schnitzer/Novack Breast Center.“The new center offers the most advanced diagnostic services and provides prompt, accurate evaluation of any breast problem.We provide routine screening mammograms and education to encourage women to stay on top of their health.”

Von Haden says providing comprehensive, woman-centered care in a warm, supportive environment is always the Center’s goal. “Coordinated and compassionate services are the cornerstone of our care,” shares Von Haden.“If a suspicious lump or thickening is detected, our breast health team is there for a patient every step of the way.”

Von Haden is proud of the recent American College of Radiology accreditation recognizing all four Eisenhower centers as breast centers of excellence.“We are accredited in stereotactic biopsy, ultrasound and mammography,” explains Von Haden.“No one else in the area holds that designation.”
